As usual, for the 9th issue of the successful compilation series "Science Fiction Jazz", music freak Robert Jan Meyer a.k.a. Minus 8 applies all tracks for the primeness to the topical music scene. "Science Fiction Jazz" detects new trends, developed by future oriented artists.
Again, the compilation creates new high-class standards. This time, the 9th issue of "Science Fiction Jazz" moves in an rather up tempo feeling. The tracks chosen by Minus 8 float less, but pelt more on warp speed through the musical space. All tracks point into the future and show a long half-life. The structures of "Science Fiction Jazz 9" are simple and dominat (Justus Köhncke - time code), the tracks are optimistic and powerful (Moonbootica - Bulldog Beats, Mike Litt – Hard Times). Bonds from the beginnings of electronic music are brought into new constellations of a miraculous retro style (Product.01 - Heart Ov Glass).
Not only beats and sounds dominate the future, also words, lyrics and poetry are set by into the center of interest (Yonderboi - Were You Thinking Of Me?). Two older pieces can be also found on the compilation: Dave Angel - Airbourne in "the remix from the year 1995" of Carl Craig whose timelessness and hardy avantgarde will not lose relevance during the next years. This applies to Maurice - This Is Acid (1988) also, a reference to one of the most important Acid House Tracks. "Science Fiction Jazz 9" shows a kind of intensive chaos, that music needs to stay alive, it makes music exciting and sophisticated. |
